The table shows the number of flowers of different colors in a box. A fair coin is shown below the table. Color of Flowers Number Red 8 Orange 2 Green 5 Yellow 5 A coin Ted selects a flower from the box randomly without looking and then tosses the fair coin. What is the probability that he will select a red flower and that the coin will land tails up?

Let's get started!

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring over all the total possibilities.

There are 20 total flowers to choose from...
8 + 2 + 5 +5 = 20

Now, we want a red coin, so the chances of getting a red flower is 8 red ones out of 20 total flowers.

8/20 = 2/5 when simplified.

BUT...

They also want a coin that will have a tails landing up.

The probability of a coin landing either tails or heads is 1/2. The reason for this is because there are only two sides to a coin.

Now, to get the total probability if there are more than one probabilities, we multiply them.

We have (2/5)*(1/2) and we get 1/5 or 20% as the answer. If you have any questions then please ask.

The probability that he will select a red flower and that the coin will land tails up is 1/5.

Color of flowers     Number

    Red                           8

 Orange                        2

  Green                         5

  Yellow                        5

   Total                         20

What is probability?

Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an occurence.

Probability of an event= Favorable outcomes/ Total outcomes

The Probability that he will select a red flower = ⁸C₁/²⁰C₁

The Probability that he will select a red flower = 8/20 = 2/5

The probability of getting a tail = 1/2.

Total probability = 2/5 * 1/2 = 1/5

Therefore, the probability that he will select a red flower and that the coin will land tails up is 1/5.
